Liu Ying, standing to the side, clenched her fists at her sides, a hint of wariness flashing in her beautiful pink-blue eyes.
"Who is it again? I don't remember this scene being in the script."
Firefly and Dahlia just explored the dream of the dream master, Gofemu, and witnessed the fate of her former comrade-in-arms, the Grammer Iron Cavalry AR214.
Having experienced a tremendous shock, her feelings at this moment were a mixture of immense sadness and confusion. Anger was igniting beneath her complex emotions, while her calm face concealed an unusual sensitivity and vigilance towards anything unexpected.
"Two beautiful ladies, are you also lost?"
Lin Yuan's gaze returned to calm as he looked at the figure before him, a smile on his face.
"Hehe. This young man is quite the smooth talker. But before questioning the two ladies, a gentleman should learn to honestly introduce himself."
Dahlia raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly, like a noble lady, but a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
"As you both wish, I am an employee of the Interstellar Peace Company. After my family reopened the Golden Moment, I came here from the Dream Pool, but I do not know where this place is?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect this young man to be so smooth-talking despite his youthful appearance. He really seems to be a company employee."
Dahlia's smile turned dangerous. She raised her sharp, black claws, casually scrutinizing them. Her tone, however, became intriguing:
"Those who can come to this dangerous dream realm are rarely ordinary people. So, young man, do you have some extraordinary abilities?"
"I'm very rich, does that count?"
Lin Yuan spoke leisurely.
"Sometimes, money isn't everything. Like right now, can your so-called wealth mask your fears?"
"That's because you don't have enough money, ma'am."
Upon hearing this, Dahlia lowered her hand, a blue flame flashing in her eyes.
"Stop! The other party hasn't shown any hostility. Perhaps they really are just an ordinary person who wandered in by mistake."
Sensing danger, Liuying looked up, wanting to stop her.
"Hehe, you're such a kind little angel~ But... I prefer to judge for myself whether there's a threat. After all... I prefer to be proactive than passively endure~"
A sickly flush appeared on Dahlia's face. The next moment, her figure faded away, then reappeared behind Lin Yuan, revealing a predatory and mocking smile.
"Let me test your skills, buddy~"
A blue flame ignited in her eyes, but in an instant, she heard a soft sigh beside her. Then, a magnificent purple-gold light filled her vision.
"By Amber King! Evil spirits and heretics shall not approach."
A loud voice resounded all around.
Dahlia suddenly felt her body begin to heat up and become restless; it was a burning sensation from the light.
"Oh, so you're the one who keeps secrets? I knew I'd discovered your background!"
Her expression changed slightly, and she returned to Liuying's side once more.
“Those who remember, release that lovely little girl. Under the protection of the light, the weak will be sheltered.”
Golden light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he looked at the two of them and uttered a grand, righteous voice.
"Ah?...Cute...." Liu Ying's expression changed slightly.
“Hmm…weaklings…” Dahlia’s lips curled up.
The next moment, she winked at Liu Ying, then looked at Lin Yuan:
"So blatant and aboveboard, young man, are you perhaps a city builder posing as a company employee? But this young lady and I are mutually in love... so there's no need for you to separate us."
The light emanating from Lin Yuan dissipated, and he returned to normal. He looked at the two of them, his expression resolute:
"Further words are useless, Yi Zhe. Now you have only one choice: take me and this little girl away from this dream. Then the truth will naturally come out."
"Tsk, I really dislike dealing with storage guys the most. They're as hard and unpleasant as rocks."
A flicker of displeasure crossed Dahlia's mind, but she smiled sweetly and said:
"Young man, you've suddenly become so assertive; I'm a little taken aback! This attitude is quite something! Since that's the case, let's go together. But since you're a protector of travelers, you must protect us weak women along the way!"
"Ah...this..."
Liu Ying was a little confused. How could the two who were just at each other's throats have made up so quickly?
But she didn't object. The girl had always harbored a strange wariness towards this Star Core Hunter companion from her memories. Now that a stranger had joined the team, she felt somewhat at ease.
"Then lead the way, Yi Zhe."
Lin Yuan walked up to them, then suddenly remembered something: "Little girl, are you hungry? I brought a lot of good food with me, do you want some?"
"Ah, thank you, but no need. I don't..."
The girl's clear and melodious polite voice suddenly stopped, and her pink and blue eyes were drawn to a fluffy and lovely dessert.
"This...this is...."
The words of refusal that Liu Ying was about to say suddenly caught in her throat.
"Oh, this is an oak cake roll. I bought it during Golden Hour. I bought hundreds of them at once, and I can't possibly eat them all myself."
"Several...hundreds?"
After a two-millisecond hesitation, Firefly accepted the cake.
"Ahem, well... then I'll have one piece. Thank you."
Liu Ying accepted the cake and nodded her thanks. She opened her small mouth and took a small bite, the strange oak flavor spreading across her taste buds.
Although its taste is not outstanding, it has a special meaning for young girls.
I don't know if it was dopamine or the cake itself that made the scene. The script of three deaths, the unspeakable reunion with Xing, and the sadness of seeing old comrades brought a slight relief to my painful emotions.
After finishing the cake roll in two bites, Liu Ying looked at her empty hands, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes. But in the blink of an eye, a storage bracelet appeared on her hands.
"There's still quite a few here, I'll give them all to you."
"what?"
Liu Ying looked up in surprise, only to find Lin Yuan staring at the mournful dahlia.
"Dear delivery guy, you bought a cake that cost several hundred yuan, why didn't you think of sharing some with me? Am I really that annoying? It's heartbreaking~"
Dahlia's face showed a heartbroken expression, as if she had lost all hope.
"You're a recollector without a physical body, what are you eating cake for?"
Lin Yuan glanced at him indifferently.
"If you want, I can catch a Memory Domain Meme and feed it to you later."
The woman in white instantly withdrew her sorrowful expression, not wanting to continue acting for even a second longer.
She glanced indifferently at Lin Yuan and Liu Ying, who was showing off her cake, her smile somewhat forced.
"Come on, you two, I have some good news. It seems that a few more intruders have entered this dream world."
...........
Chapter 294 Where Does the Danger Lie?
As soon as Dahlia finished speaking, she guided Lin Yuan and Liu Ying forward.
The group fell silent as they walked, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the corridor.
In fact, the voice of the dahlia was whispering in the firefly's mind:
"One intruder after another, it seems Silver Wolf has already sent the coordinates. They arrived so quickly, it must be that Memory Maker guiding them, either she... forgot her limits, or she has ulterior motives."
Dahlia chuckled softly.
"And this guy walking ahead, maybe he really is an accident. A corporate custodian like him? That's quite an oddball."
Let him pave the way for us, don't worry, darling, there's no need to be too secretive about him. At the end of this journey, I'll erase this memory from his mind. Our little secret mustn't be known to outsiders~
The sound disappeared, and Dahlia's eyebrows arched, her face sly.
Liu Ying's eyes flickered, but her brows furrowed slightly.
A moment later, after crossing the door at the end of the corridor, the group arrived at a huge living room.
Lin Yuan glanced around slightly, only to see Dahlia step forward and put her finger to her lips, signaling them to be quiet.
"Look, the intruders are all down there."
Following her gaze, three figures came into Lin Yuan's view.
To the left was a tall, long-haired woman with her arms crossed, her face as cold as ice.
A long sword hangs beside him, its scabbard adorned with blue patterns.
Opposite her stood Black Swan and Star, both of them appearing somewhat cautious as they faced the silent woman before them.
"Thank goodness...she's alright."
Seeing Xing Sheng's lively and energetic appearance from the high platform, Liu Ying's eyes lit up with a crystal-clear light, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Lin Yuan about to peek down, Dahlia's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she spoke up to stop him:
"Young man, don't rush. There's a troublesome stranger down there."
"Troublesome? Someone down there is clearly under threat. Didn't you see that 80-meter-long sword?"
"Hey."
Dahlia couldn't help but sigh. Where did this righteous person come from?
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little regretful. Had he overacted?
“It’s alright to tell you. If we don’t consider our positions, this person is a more dangerous existence than the Dream Lord Pinocchio. We should always be careful when facing a messenger who moves in the void.”
"Void...commander?" Lin Yuan frowned.
"Where did this messenger come from, from nothingness?"
"Looks like a guy who knows nothing. This room is full of the most dangerous people in all of Pinocchio."
One Star Core Hunter, two Memory Masters, one Void Commander, and one Star Core. A mere Preservation Walker getting involved—is it luck or bad luck?
Dahlia chuckled inwardly, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
